Anna Haugen is a wife, mom and piano teacher from St. Paul, Minnesota who took a literal journey across the country with her husband and kids for six months. They packed a van, took their kids out of school and took a break from their jobs to see the country.
As a woman who had been used to saying no to things that were outside her comfort zone, she surprised her husband by saying "yes" to this trip when he suggested it. She talks about lessons learned like "turn your fear into fun" and leaping before the net appears that you will want to hear.
Anna has chronicled their adventures in her blog called "Midlife Creative Travels" and you can find it HERE. Look for her on Instagram as well @midlifecreativetravels.
